I have an Adventurer, and at one time I had a 122 VFO driving it. I had
solid-stated the power supply and replaced the meter (who knew back
then). The 122 turned out to be a better VFO than the Heath VF-1; was
more stable and keyed much better. I (foolishly) gave it away - paired
with an HW-16 and converted to grid-block keying. They made a great pair!
My solution to the power problem was to replace the power-supply bleeder
resistors with a voltage divider. It worked well. Sure wish I still
had that Johnson VFO!
